Everything to know about Minecraft Live's mob vote in 2023

What is mob vote?

With every update to the main sandbox game, Mojang has added loads of new features like blocks, mobs, items, etc. However, in 2017, they had their first mob vote before their Live event. In it, they introduced four different mobs and asked the community to vote for their favorite one. The mob with the most votes from the fanbase was chosen to be added to the game with the next update.

This trend was extremely popular among players, as they themselves got to choose which mob they wanted in the game. Hence, Mojang is once again bringing back the mob vote show, which will commence prior to the main event. It brings the community closer as millions discuss the new mobs and deserving candidates.

Though several smaller subgroups usually form within the community based on their favorite mobs, they only foster friendly banter.

How will the mob voting happen?

Over the years, Mojang has comprehensively changed the mob voting system. In the beginning, they used to release a tweet on their official Twitter (now X) account with a poll for all three mobs. However, the company has gradually shifted to their own platforms to make the voting even more interesting.

There are three ways to vote for mobs in 2023 before Minecraft Live: From a special Bedrock Edition server, the official game launcher, or their official website.

Furthermore, Mojang has already announced that the mob voting for 2023 will start at 1 pm EDT on October 13, 2023, and close at 1:15 pm EDT on October 15, 2023.

While players will get to vote for their favorite mobs on October 13, they must wait two days to find out which entity got the most votes. This is because Mojang usually announces the winner of the mob vote at the end of the Minecraft Live event, which will be held at 1 pm EDT on October 15, 2023.
